Straight from the hills of St.
Thomas
Strictly off of the heart of the land
That fountain is a place in Jamaica
That fountain is a place
on the island of Jamaica
In Jamaica, that fountain is a place,
In Jamaica, that fountain is a place,
We're feeling power
It was 1609 when this history began
When an African slave
escaped his master's hand
He was beaten, forsaken,
expected to die
Then he escaped to the mountain
where Jah Jah heard his cry
And by the healing powers of the water
His freedom began
Cause Jah healing power
has taken a stand
That fountain is a place
Oh yes it is
In Jamaica
In Jamaica
That fountain is a place
On the island of Jamaica
That fountain is a place
Oh yes it is
In Jamaica
In Jamaica
That fountain is a place
We feel empowered
Now
When I woke up this morning
To the rising sun
I see the beauty of creation,
how well it's been done
I heard the birds them
singing sweet melody
While the sound of the river
was healing my body
By the healing powers of the water,
my freedom began
Got your healing power,
heart's taking a stand
That fountain is a place, in Jamaica
That fountain is a place,
on the island of Jamaica
That fountain is a place, in Jamaica
In Jamaica, yeah
My fountain is ablaze
We're feeling powers
I see my native people
Lending and helping hand
To people they don't know
Some from foreign land
I went down to the valley
By the rivers and the sand
I found the beauty of Jamaica
Jah know I love this land
That fountain is the place
In Jamaica
In Jamaica
That fountain is the place
For the healing of Jamaica
It's got the healing
He's got the healing, healing feeling
In Jamaica, oh yes it is
My fountain is a place
With the healing feeling
With the healing, healing feeling
In Jamaica, in Jamaica
My fountain is a place
For the healing of Jamaica
He's got the healing feeling
My fountain is a place
In Jamaica
It's got the healin', healin'
